INDIANAPOLIS -- The 34-minute power outage at the Superdome during Super Bowl XLVII was a malfunction that had never happened on the game's biggest stage. The 2014 host committee is already working to make sure it doesn't happen again next February at MetLife Stadium.

"We’ve had a lot of discussions about that, and we’re going to make sure we take extra precautions to see that it doesn’t happen," Giants co-owner John Mara said today. "We’ve involved PSE&G (Public Service Electric and Gas Company) in those discussions, and we’re going to have a lot of procedures built in to make sure that doesn’t happen."

When MetLife Stadium, the Giants and Jets' shared home, opened in 2010, there was an 11-minute power outage during a November Giants-Cowboys game. A transformer blew at the substation that powers the stadium, causing several banks of lights to go out. There haven't been any power glitches since.

"It was an isolated incident; we don’t think it could happen again," Mara said. "Those types of issues are above and beyond my expertise, but we’ve brought in the right people, and I think we’ll be fine."

As for what kind of "procedures" will be implemented, Mara did not know all the specifics but was confident their work with the area's utility company will guard against any power failures -- an issue pushed to the forefront after this year's Super Bowl.

"You check and double check all your power sources, and you have to involve PSE&G, and you maybe bring in an outside expert also to make sure everything is running smoothly," Mara said. "We’ll do all those things. People that are far more familiar with it can articulate it better than I can. I just know that we’re going to be asking the question quite a bit between now and then to make sure that nothing goes wrong."
